1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeHenle's fiber layer (HFL) is hyporeflective and indistinct on pupil-centered optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, a small area of HFL is also found to be hyperreflective on pupil-centered OCT. This study characterized the hyperreflective HFL of healthy eyes on pupil-centered OCT and investigated the possible physiological and functional relationship of hyperreflective HFL.

methodsSubjects with different degrees of ametropia underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination, including binocular function by synoptophore and Titmus test, ocular axial length, refractions, and pupil-centered OCT angiography coupled with OCT. The area of hyperreflective HFL was manually plotted and calculated using the Optovue AngioVue system technology. The possible ocular physiological and functional relationship with the area of hyperreflective HFL was investigated.

resultsA total of 111 subjects (222 eyes) without other ocular diseases were enrolled, of which 164 eyes (74%) presented hyperreflective HFL. The average area of hyperreflective HFL was 0.71 ± 0.07 mm

conclusionMost healthy eyes present a small area of hyperreflective HFL, which might be due to alternation of the orientation of some Henle fibers by ametropia during the development of visual function postpartum. The small area of hyperreflective HFL may serve as a marker in identifying the boundary of HFL on OCT.
